Big M is a cozy campground on the west side of Table Rock Lake. We camped in mid July in a rooftop tent, and chose spot #40. This spot was level for our tent trailer (paved surface), but if you have a traditional tent there isn’t really a level spot in the grassy area. It is just below the bathrooms which is good, but does mean increased foot traffic close by. It also sits just above spot #39, so you are looking down at the lake and staring right at them. During our time there the camp was slightly flooded and the black flies were ridiculous. Don’t know if the two are related, but it seems worth mentioning. This site is heavily shaded and has plenty of trees for hammocks. The view of the lake is of an inlet behind the marina. We could get our kayaks to the water but had to carry them across the road and down a pretty steep hill. The camp does have a cute marina with a store and a restaurant. The store sells fishing supplies, some souvenirs, sodas, and ice cream. Definitely check it out. Only four showers (family style units) for the whole park though, and we had to drive to them from our site, and while they were very clean, the first night we had only cold water and the second night only hot. The park was tidy and quiet, though, and worth another visit.
